Unpopular Opinion Of A High School Senior

I see an article at least once a week on Facebook that one of my friends has shared about 'advice from a high school senior' or 'top 10 things to do as a senior'. I read them all, and I think the same thing about them all: I can't relate. All the mushy stuff about appreciating your friends and parents, attending sporting events and preserving your childhood while you can. I couldn't feel more opposite if I tried. I don't know if it's just me, but I'm ready to be done with high school. Trust me, I know there's only a few percent of us out there, but, I'm that person who knows exactly what I want to do with my life. I know what I want to major/minor in, I know what profession/job I want, I know what I love to do and I have all the plans already in place to do it. Honestly, I've been ready to be done with high school since Junior year. So no, I don't care about going to as many high school sporting events as possible. Some people’s lives revolve around these sports, but not to me. I could care less about going to high school sporting events, I couldn’t care less about learning all the chants and songs, I couldn’t care less about dressing up in outfits and taking pictures before the game to put on Instagram. I don't want to appreciate what's left of my childhood because I'm ready to be an adult. I don't want to 'spend as much time as I can with my family' because I know I'll still see them and that they're always there if I need them. I don't want to go out and party with friends every weekend because the majority of them won't even matter next year. I want to move on. I want a fresh start. I want to finally chose to be someplace that I want to be and not be stuck wherever my parents are. All I know is that I'm ready to be done with highschool, and I'm not going to be the one at graduation crying over all the good memories I've made over the past four year (honestly if you see me crying, it will probably be because I'm so happy) I'm here to inform you that no, high school might not the best four years of your life. For some, it can be, but there's also us out here that can't wait for it to be done.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
